In 2023, the volume of supported catalysts, excluding nickel or precious metal compounds imported into France, stood at 32.5 million kilograms. The forecast indicates a steady increase in imports, rising to 33.469 million kilograms in 2024. This upward trend continues annually, reaching 37.434 million kilograms by 2028. Year-on-year variation showcases a stable growth rate of approximately 3% each year from 2024 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for this period is around 3% as well, reflecting consistent expansion in import volumes.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in global demand for supported catalysts, changes in manufacturing processes that might affect France's import patterns, and the impact of regulatory developments, especially those concerning environmental sustainability in catalyst production and usage.
